First Dreamwidth post

[alwaysjbj]

Okay, so I have a Dreamwidth account alwaysjbj.

I'm still a little unsure of how this whole subscription/circle thing works, but I'll poke a round a bit and suss it out. I haven't decided whether I want to import my LJ or not, I think (for now at least) I'm leaning towards not.

I really like the automatic crosspost feature, so it's possible that I may start using Dreamwidth as my main journal and letting it crosspost to LJ, not sure about that yet either. I got a paid account for a year, working on the theory that a year is plenty of time to decide if I like it or not, and how much of the fandom decides to migrate over--we'll see. In the meantime I'm just going to have a look around and take my time settling in.

I'm assuming I will be given invite codes, so if there is anyone left who doesn't already have one and would like one, just let me know and when I get some I'll pass them on.

*waves hi* Dawnofme gave me a code and here I am. Not sure how much I'll use dreamwidth but wanted to play too! LOL! Have added you to my circle thingy! Hope you don't mind. :)

I did some sort of validating of something and got an automatic invite to the service. I haven't had time to look it over yet, but I'm there as dawnofme. I think.

I'm curious to see what it's all about to.

Ah...that's an OpenID account, I had one of those and then they sent me an invite code to make a real account (you can read, comment ect with an OpenId but not have an actual journal), I assumed that wen I upgraded to a real account the OpenID one would just change to a full account, but it doesn't, you have to start again. lol

But you should have an invite code for a real account in your email, they sent one to all OpenId accounts.

ETA: Ignore me, I'm not really awake yet--you did mention that they had sent you an invite code, didn't you? lol *head desk*

I'm not sure how it all works but would love an invite if there is one spare! :)

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

No worries, as soon as they give me some I'll pass one on to you.

[mabel-marsters.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much :)

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

I got your comment on DW. Thanks for letting me know, I've added you.

DW finally sent me a whole 2 invite codes *sigh* so I'll pass them to the next 2 people on my list.

I still don't understand what it is and why it's better than LJ, but I'd like an invite for future reference. Heehee.

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

No worries...they FINALLY gave me a whole 2 invite codes...here's yours. RYTJ7NZ2SPPAKAAABFZA

[adriana-is.livejournal.com]

If you have one left, I'd appreciate it. :)

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

It took them long enough to give them to me. *sigh* Here's yours. 9RJEJNDCD4BQ8AAABFZB

Hi Hon,

Thank you but I did join DW over the weekend. If someone else needs this, go ahead and pass it on.

Thank you, luv!

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Okay, no worries. Thanks for letting me know.

[prophecygirrl.livejournal.com]

well, if you ever do have a spare invite code, I'd like to check it out...thanks!

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

They only gave me two (and took their time about doing that). If they give me anymore the next one is yours.

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

One of those above you had already got an account, so this code is all yours now. 9RJEJNDCD4BQ8AAABFZB

[selene2.livejournal.com]

Invite me?

Though knowing my schedule I'll be off and on over there too. : /

If you are on ding me! I should be on for a bit. :D

*hugs tight*

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

They only gave me two codes. *sigh* If I get any more I'll give you one. But apparently you can buy something like 2 month's paid account and then let it revert to a free one.

[jerusha]

Not a bad idea. I'm over there as enigmaticblue.

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I figured if in a year's time it has dies a miserable death like GJ and IJ then it's no great loss...but if in a year everyone has migrated over to there (as many have suggested they are going to) then at least I'll have my name secured.

[talesofsnape.livejournal.com]

What is this Dreamwidth of which everyone is talking and why?

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

LOL New LJ type thing...we'll see what comes of it.
